Who should I be so you will love me?
Who?
You can only be you.

Maybe I'm looking too hard.
Looking too hard for love.
Maybe I'm thinking too much.
Thinking too much about what to do
And how to find you.
Maybe I'm looking too hard for what's infront of me.
Looking too hard for this.
Sometimes everything you're looking for is right infront of you.

My hair looks like a veil
Straight as a sheet of ice
As I walk through the parking lot
To get my only vice.
The light of a cigar
A moment of pure silence
To wonder how many times
I've had to die since
The time when the kisses hurt,
The slaps felt clean
The taste of dirt
As I lied in between
The leaves of fall
Fingers went numb
Always and again to
became a doll.

You ain't got no kind of feeling inside
you refuse to put anything before your pride
What I got to give will knock your pride aside

Got no time is what you're known to say
I'll make you wish there were 48 hours to each day
Your problem is you ain't been loved like you should,
What I got to give will sho nuff do you good.

Tell me something good..
Tell me that you like it

Tell me Something Good,
Tell me **that you love me

Satin red stains my finger tips,
The feeling echoes from my skin.
Drips of a fountain consume me.
Trapped.
My heart yells out in pain.
Uttered in swirls of lies.
Painted words in black choke light.
I reach
Save it
Pushed away
Leave me
Lifeless body floating in water.
Eyes darker than black,
Stare at me.
Screaming.
From my own lifeless lips.
Pale and cold.

Closing in
On a deep thought,
Always there
To make me rot.
Never ending pain
That seems to burrow.
Oh my heart,
It fills with sorrow.
It spreads like fire,
In my heart it fills,
Consumed by desire,
Every moment it kills.

It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess.

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon.


It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door. When ya
Try to figure out what all this is for

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I Packed a car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?

Pinch Me
Pinch Me
Cos I'm still asleep.
Please God
Tell Me
That I'm still asleep

Oh, Tell me, where is the road                                     Anywhere you want
I can call my own,                                                             ­   
That I left, that I lost                                                     Anything you need
So long ago?
All these years I have wandered,                                   All the best in life
Oh when will I know
There's a way, there's a road                                          I want it for you
That will lead me home?

After wind, after rain,                                         I Imagine that you're mine
When the dark is done,
As I wake from a dream                                     In my world your gold
In the gold of day,
Through the air there's a calling                       Suddenly all the sadness
From far away,                                                     will just slip away
There's a voice I can hear                                   You'll see what I mean
That will lead me home.                                     If you just follow me
                                            Rise up, follow me,
                                          Come away is the call,
                                      With the Love in your heart
                                             As the only song;
                                         There is no such beauty
                                          As where you belong;
                                           Rise up, follow me,
                                          I will lead you home.

Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here?

When will they stop.

I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner, of your love
And I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front, just a front.

I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm feeling..

I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
When I wake from dreaming, tell me, is it really love?

How will I know that he really loves me(In his eyes)
I say a prayer with every heartbeat(In his face)
I Fall In love Whenever We Meet(In his warm embrace)
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?(The way he acts)

If he Loves me(Don't trust your feelings)
If he loves me not(love can be deceiving)
He Loves Me(Just his arms)
he loves me not(just his charm)

If you wanna know if he Loves you so,
If it's love, if it really is,
It's there in his kiss

Oh, wake me, I'm shaking, I wish I had you near me now

There's no mistaking, what I feel is really **love
